Therapists in M6C

Since the mid-90s, I have worked with singles who fear commitment, gridlocked couples, and parents who worry about their teens. Informed by Bowen Family Systems Theory, I have learned what works (and what to avoid) to foster deeply meaningful relationships. I have published three books on fear of commitment, marriage and family therapy. I live in Toronto, Ontario with my wife - a child psychiatrist - our three boys, some fish and two gerbils.

I work with adults and couples to help them move towards a state of continued growth, compassion, and self-awareness in a way that is collaborative, strengths-based, and empowering. I believe in creating a client-therapist relationship that fosters authenticity, support, and space for both acceptance, and for change. This can begin in our very first session. Together, we can begin to tease apart the adaptive approaches to dealing with and moving through life you've grown accustomed to, and begin to decipher which of these patterns are serving you, and which you may be interested in moving beyond.

You are hurt beyond belief. The person you trusted; the person that committed to you. The person who told you that they love you.... is the person that has betrayed you! This is a shocking discovery, even if it is not the first time! I understand the heart ache, the confusion and the difficulty in trying to navigate your present pain and work towards re-grounding yourself and healing.

You deserve to be free and to live a full and happy life! It is our genuine desire that you experience personal freedom. From this safe space you will be able to discover your true identity that will help you connect that Heart-Mind Unity that helps you live from the Fullness of Being. You will be able to dismantle negative beliefs and perceptions about life and find the wisdom to solve present difficulties. You will learn to restore healthy perspectives that will lead you to realize your dreams, resolve conflicting desires, navigate the demands that are made on you, and find meaning to your existence.

Hi! My name is Emily Halperin and I am a Registered Social Worker and Therapist. I work with youth, young adults, and couples, supporting them through a range of emotional and relational challenges. Whether you are looking to unpack experiences that are difficult, build self-compassion, or develop strategies to manage anxiety and stress, I am here to help. In my practice, I aim to support you in exploring your emotional health and well-being. I have a particular interest in working with adults as they navigate relationships and related stressors.

My priority is to develop a therapeutic and non-judgmental relationship with all my clients. In my experience validating and reassuring clients helps to normalize their experiences and feelings. I am client-centered and focus on my client's strengths; starting where the client is at. "I believe that each person has a unique story and perspective in which they bring to both relationships and to managing life stressors. Ultimately, we will work together so that you feel empowered to identify meaningful goals for positive change.”

I am an experienced therapist with 34 years of practice to draw upon. I will listen carefully as you describe the issues that you need support and help to sort out. Often, an increased understanding of the challenges that you face can be very helpful to move forward in your life. As well, learning some new skills to manage the issues and/or gaining a new perspective on the issues can be useful as well. I appreciate that it is not easy to embark on a therapy course so I make every effort to be supportive and understanding as we build a therapy relationship.

I have always had a passion for holding space for others as they confront pain and distress. I consider it my greatest privilege to emotionally support individuals as they navigate through the challenges of their life. In fact, my aim is to support you by helping you get in touch with what is hijacking you - emotional wounds, fears, blindspots, negative beliefs and thinking patterns. I am equipped to guide you through various concerns including anxiety, emotional distress, grief, trauma and loss and have worked with countless individuals, children and parents over the years.

Customized treatment plans for Individuals/Couples Facing: Sex Addictions. We help help to Heal Affairs, Sexual Trauma, Porn Addiction, Love Addiction and Sex Crimes are my specialties. This includes the person experiencing these challenges, and their partners and families who are confused and hurt. According to Parole Services, I have never had someone sexual re-offend while under my care and have only had 5 couples ever separate under my care. I can help with sexual enhancement, growing in intimacy, and relationship recovery. Imagine the possibilities that good therapy can have in your life!!

My formal clinical training in psychotherapy is based on Rogerian Therapy. Using an eclectic approach, I often draw techniques from other psychotherapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, to tailor sessions to emerging needs of each client.

Hi! My name is Nicole White, I am a Registered Social Worker and Therapist. I specialize in counselling to adolescents, adults, and families with social emotional challenges and behavioural needs including anxiety, depression, eating disorders and gender dysphoria, among others.

In the midst of the relentless whirlwind of parenting, each night can feel like it’s blending into the next as you wrestle with worry, exhaustion, and isolation. You may find yourself awake, consumed by thoughts of your child's struggles, desperately seeking solace and guidance in a sea of conflicting information. In today's world it's a lonely journey, one where the weight of uncertainty and the absence of a manual can feel SO suffocating. As a mom and youth and family therapist, my skillset is helping caregivers and young people with the complex challenges they face.

Accepting New Clients; No Waitlist - I guide adults to connect with the evidence and knowledge gained from their experiences to transform their relationships with themselves and others. Come to my practice if you want to experience the three MMLC guiding principles that will restructure your thinking patterns by guiding you into accessing the knowledge you hold (you being the expert in your experiences), joining it to your present day self with everything you have learned (subconscious into the conscious), and guiding you into creating a new knowledge base rooted in authenticity, empowerment, and valuable connections (neuro-pysch)

With over 30 years of clinical experience, I welcome Children, Teens, Adults, Couples & Families into my practice who are facing anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, grief, addiction, chronic pain/illness, or stress from relationship conflicts. I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relapse Prevention Therapy, and Self-Care which are personalized to your unique circumstance. I also provide a special Couple's Program and a Deeper Healing Program that addresses pain and utilizes strength to repair.

Underneath your anxiety, depression and anger there are feelings that need to be explored, known and expressed. This awareness is valuable and will be the foundation of future possibilities and choices. I will provide the support you need to start this journey and then will challenge you and offer new choices in a way that empowers you. I will help you get more curious about things you haven't paid so much attention to and together we will explore struggles, issues and then new possibilities.

I know from personal experience that mental health struggles can have a devastating impact on our ability to live full lives. It's that experience that led me to become a social worker, and to train as both an individual and family therapist. In our work together, we will develop the skills and strategies that you need to find relief from your symptoms. We will also help you to explore the root causes of those symptoms, so that you can achieve long-term change. I have worked in community mental health for 15+ years, so I can also help you navigate the broader mental health system.
